Answers to the most common questions about Studio modes, Strava and GPX import, Replay, Analysis, and checkout. Need something else? Drop us a note.
Studio
What can I build in Mappa Studio?
You can create three poster types: Classic (single route), Multi-Route (overlay multiple activities), and Mosaic (grid-based activity artwork). Each mode supports orientation, typography, color, and map styling controls.
Data Sources
Do I need Strava to use the app?
No. You can upload GPX files directly. Strava is optional, but connecting it makes importing and filtering recent activities much faster across Studio, Replay, and Analysis.
Replay
Can I preview route movement before ordering?
Yes. Route Replay lets you animate the route and inspect pacing along the path before finalising your design.
Analysis
What does the Analysis page include?
Analysis summarizes your recent activity trends, including distance volume, frequency, and activity-type mix, so you can add context before deciding what to print.
Ordering
What formats can I buy?
At checkout you can choose Digital (high-resolution download), Unframed print, or Framed print.
Ordering
Which print sizes are currently available?
Current print sizes are A4, A3, A2, and 18x24 in. You can order them as digital, unframed, or framed prints.
Ordering
Is shipping included?
Yes. Free standard shipping is included on all printed orders. If you need it faster, express delivery is available as a paid upgrade during checkout.
Ordering
How long does delivery take?
Prints are produced to order and typically dispatched within 3–5 working days. Framed prints can take a little longer depending on stock. You’ll receive tracking details as soon as your order ships.
Design
Can I switch orientation while designing?
Yes. Portrait and landscape are both supported, and the preview updates instantly so you can compare layouts before ordering.
Orders
Can I update a design after I start checkout?
You can return to Studio and adjust your design any time before placing a new order. If an existing order is already in production, email support as soon as possible and we'll check whether edits are still possible.
Orders
Where do I view my orders and downloads?
Order history is available in your account area after sign-in. For digital orders, download access is available from the order detail view and confirmation emails.
